Oshiomhole said further that Nigeria has passed the point of reducing governance to ‘political patronage of bread and butter.’

Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole has defended President Muhammadu Buhari’s recent appointments saying that the president is hiring the best hands for the job.

The governor made the comments while commending Buhari for the appointments via a statement released by his Chief Press Secretary, Peter Okhiria.

Oshiomhole said:

“The Nigerian nation has come to a point where we have to use the best hands to confront the peculiarity of our problems. It is not all the time we descend to the level of geopolitical balancing; we need to employ unusual methods to solve an unusual problem.”

“The level of decay in the country at present requires very seasoned hands and incorruptible Nigerians that will help translate the APC agenda of change for the benefit of all Nigerians.”

“We must not reduce governance to political patronage of bread and butter. The governor congratulates the Chief of Staff, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation and the Comptroller General of Customs, all of who he had very close relationship with and whose credentials stand tall among their compeers. He wishes them well in their new jobs of helping to sanitize a system that has become so rotten and corrupt as a result of manifest incompetence and mismanagement.”

Buhari has been severely criticized for the appointments which many believe shows a bias towards the north.
